View Full Version : OFWF Dinner?
DivingGal March 17th, 2003, 08:25 AM Shall we try again? Here's a few choices for a date. I still think Kingston would be a good destination... but if you have a better suggestion, please offer. Tom R March 17th, 2003, 05:40 PM Oswego will be holding their annual dive expo on the 12th so anyother day will be fine Tom DivingGal March 18th, 2003, 07:45 AM The original list did not have Saturday, April 19th as it's the Easter weekend, but that's another option if folks are interested.... canuckdiver March 18th, 2003, 12:12 PM on the 5th, I'll be in gilboa (hopefully) but any other time works for me. Butch103 March 18th, 2003, 03:18 PM I voted for the fifth, but.....wifey just told me we are goion out for my B-day that weekend so don't book anything (:rolleyes: ) Didn't tell her about this dinnere. I believe that the other Sats are AOK.... DivingGal March 19th, 2003, 07:24 AM Suggestions anyone? How about Montana's Cookhouse Saloon (630 Gardiners Rd)? If a gang shows up, we can be a bit rowdy. Butch103 March 19th, 2003, 10:37 AM That works for me....On the 12th......Anyine else..lets commit folks and get it finished up......:boom: canuckdiver March 19th, 2003, 12:42 PM ok, for the 12th count me in. just gotta tell me where that restaurant is ;) snuggle March 19th, 2003, 01:17 PM hey canuck your going to be in gilboa that weekend?want some company?that is as long as theres no ice lol canuckdiver March 21st, 2003, 12:39 PM have to confirm that I will be there, supposed to be doing some checkout dives for a TDI course, but you are always welcome! Butch103 March 24th, 2003, 09:42 AM Lets get this stuff confirmed up a little. Times awaistin and the schedule is filling........ Have y'all voted? Don't think so from the looks of the numbers. Lets settle this and we can set some numbers to call an reserve the spot if need be.......In between times......Happy Diving.....:D cobaltbabe March 24th, 2003, 03:39 PM I'm in!!!!! Just name the time and the place and I will be there with bells on. Something casual would be nice so we don't have to put on our game faces. I don't care what kind of food as long as we have a good time. ;) canuckdiver March 24th, 2003, 04:34 PM I've voted, I'm in for the 12th at Montana's in kingston. anybody else? cobaltbabe with bells on........ now THAT'S worth showing up for! LOL cobaltbabe March 24th, 2003, 05:26 PM That sounds great Canuckdiver. And thank you very much. Maybe a bunch of us can go in one car. taz22 March 24th, 2003, 06:27 PM Count Taz in! Will see you there on the 12th. :) DivingGal March 25th, 2003, 07:29 AM So unless someone's got an objection, it's Montana's Cookhouse Saloon 630 Gardiners Rd Kingston, Ont How about meet for 6:30 (that way those with a bit of a travel time won't be too late heading home)? First one there get a table for what ever number is in the poll, plus a couple (for "just in case" shows) -- suggest you claim it in the name of OFWF :D frogxman March 25th, 2003, 08:29 AM Sorry, won't be able to make it - I will be diving down south. I hope to see you on our collective diving event though. cobaltbabe March 25th, 2003, 01:13 PM That sounds great DivingGal. I will be there and may even bring the partner is he wants to drive with me. What do you think Canuckdiver? I am making a firm commitment to this one. canuckdiver March 25th, 2003, 01:21 PM I'll be there! hey, as an aside note, to help draw the group together, what would everybody think of rotating once-a-month dinner or drink get-togethers? Just informal, but say this month is kingston, next month Toronto, mabey one down towards london or windsor? just a thought...... cobaltbabe March 25th, 2003, 01:33 PM That sounds great Canuckdiver. That way we can meet each other and make new friends. Ontario Diver March 25th, 2003, 04:34 PM Kewl Koncept.... Anybody coming in from TO and want to split a vehicle? cobaltbabe March 25th, 2003, 05:36 PM Heck Matt, Sounds like a road trip to me. Adam and I can jump in the car and come and get you. Granted going home may be a little bit of an issue. What about the train to Belleville and then you can come with us? Just a few ideas. :) Ontario Diver March 25th, 2003, 05:46 PM I have a vehicle, I'd just like the company on the way out and back...:D cobaltbabe March 25th, 2003, 05:58 PM :( Ontario Diver March 25th, 2003, 08:11 PM How about I drive to B'ville and then meet up with you? :wacko: jrtonkin March 25th, 2003, 10:30 PM OD: I can get myself to Toronto easy enough, and that's a lot easier than renting a car for myself too... Only detail being that we'd have to be back in TO for 12:30pm (last bus back to KW). Oh, and I guess this means you can count me in. :) Jamie Butch103 March 26th, 2003, 11:25 AM 12th?..I am assuming fromthe vote. Should be both Sue and I. What about the rest of you "eatingcrowe" members? Let me know, we may be able to "carpool"... canuckdiver March 26th, 2003, 11:45 AM ok, so as far as I can see, the list looks like this so far: Divinggal Butch & Sue Cobaltbabe Taz22 and myself with Ontario diver Jrtonkin as possibles? cobaltbabe March 26th, 2003, 12:05 PM Either way about meeting up. What ever works and gets us all to the dinner. ;) weight_for_me March 26th, 2003, 02:44 PM Butch103 once bubbled... What about the rest of you "eatingcrowe" members? Let me know, we may be able to "carpool"... Hmmm..I hate to commit to anything.....lets say I'll mark it on the calendar and if the opportunity arises, I'll be there. Watch for me along side the highway Butch:D Randy... cobaltbabe March 26th, 2003, 03:28 PM Butch, Tell me where Randy lives and I will go over and hog tie him, threw him over my shoulder and get him to the dinner!!!! ;) Lets see you back out of that one Randy!!!! And trust me on this one, I can do it!!! :D weight_for_me March 27th, 2003, 10:54 AM Well....now I've NEVER been hog tied by a woman before..:wacko: My address is.....oh wait....I have to check with the social director on this one:D Randy... Butch103 March 27th, 2003, 10:58 AM weight_for_me once bubbled... Hmmm..I hate to commit to anything.....lets say I'll mark it on the calendar and if the opportunity arises, I'll be there. Watch for me along side the highway Butch:D Randy... Perhaps you might want to bring her along?.....Might make it easier for you to dive. If she sees what kind of reprobates you hang with, she may decide to never dive and want to ship you out solo. ;) divedude March 27th, 2003, 11:08 AM canuckdiver once bubbled... ok, so as far as I can see, the list looks like this so far: Divinggal Butch & Sue Cobaltbabe Taz22 and myself with Ontario diver Jrtonkin as possibles? I'll be there, Hope more show up than last time :D Butch103 March 27th, 2003, 11:12 AM divedude once bubbled... I'll be there, Hope more show up than last time :D However " The best laid plans of mice and men have known to go asunder"...or in modern englisn AFU'd...... cobaltbabe March 27th, 2003, 12:48 PM Well even if everyone else bails I will be there. A road trip that ends in a nice meal and some stimulating conversation (even if its me talking to myself) I'm there. :out: DivingGal March 27th, 2003, 12:50 PM divedude once bubbled... I'll be there, Hope more show up than last time :D Thou shalt not be alone.... cobaltbabe March 27th, 2003, 12:59 PM See boys, if the women of the board can make it a firm committment then you can too. Just say it with me. "I will be in Kingston on the 12th of April, I will be in Kingston on the 12th of April, I WILL BE IN KINGSTON ON THE 12TH OF APRIL" Now doesn't that feel better. ;) divedude March 29th, 2003, 01:55 PM cobaltbabe once bubbled... See boys, if the women of the board can make it a firm committment then you can too. Just say it with me. "I will be in Kingston on the 12th of April, I will be in Kingston on the 12th of April, I WILL BE IN KINGSTON ON THE 12TH OF APRIL" Now doesn't that feel better. ;) Easy For me to say :D I live here! cobaltbabe March 31st, 2003, 09:18 PM Well I guess we will see you there Jim. ;) Doppler April 1st, 2003, 10:48 AM I am booked to do a dive with canuckdiver (his first nitrox dive) so if he is going, looks like I might be able to as well. Looking forward to seeing you there... just not sure where? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Doppler canuckdiver April 1st, 2003, 10:58 AM LOL DD ;) the dinner is going to be at montana's steakhouse in kingston. Montana's Cookhouse Saloon 630 Gardiners Rd Kingston, Ont looking forward to it! Jimmy B April 1st, 2003, 12:51 PM Can't make it going to see the Boys from Northern Tech Diver speak in Oswego on DIR diving Jimmy B cobaltbabe April 1st, 2003, 01:40 PM Did we all agree on 6:30? Just wanted to confirm. :confused: canuckdiver April 1st, 2003, 02:38 PM works for me ;) so far we have 9 people and counting! Butch103 April 1st, 2003, 05:46 PM 6:30 was the meetin time....... DivingGal April 7th, 2003, 12:20 PM we're going to have a fine time... tinman April 7th, 2003, 12:55 PM DM duties have me tied up in April. Another time, another dive. Safe drive home folks... canuckdiver April 8th, 2003, 10:22 AM ok guys, turns out that the restaurant will not take reservations on friday or saturday, so I will try to get there good and early to grab a table in the name of the OFWF. Butch103 April 8th, 2003, 11:53 AM We know we can count on you to run blocker for us....:D They may have heard about rowdy divers and are just passing up on us...:D canuckdiver April 8th, 2003, 11:55 AM Butch103 once bubbled... We know we can count on you to run blocker for us....:D They may have heard about rowdy divers and are just passing up on us...:D LOL, in that case, having me show up first is NOT gonna help! ;) cobaltbabe April 8th, 2003, 12:36 PM I will try to show up a little early as well. :) Does anyone need a ride or am I on my own to get lost. ;) DivingGal April 8th, 2003, 02:24 PM Here's what I got told: Near Kingston Take the exit for Highway 38 (Chabot (sp?) Lake) go east This will magically turn into Gardiners Rd right at Princess Street. At Princess Street there is a Canadian Tire at the corner. Continue on Gardiners Road for two traffic lights. The restaurant is located on the left side at the lights. It's located along side Kelseys and Home Depot. Now guys no stopping at the Home Depot for toys! Butch103 April 8th, 2003, 02:36 PM That is Sharbot Lake (close DG)...and no-one can wear their dive masks........ Now just to clarify for my male mind which cannot multitask ......is this the meeting to set up the meeting to discuss a BBQ/dive day? :confused: Or is this the meeting to decide the dive day/BBQ? :confused: In either case I would suggest we bring a preferred date for the BBQ/diveday and or the meeting to set up the BBQ/diveday..... or is this just a get together so see if we really want to dive with each other? :confused: Help me...I am just man trying to figure the ways of a womans mind.... canuckdiver April 8th, 2003, 02:39 PM LOL, ok butch, now youv'e got ME confused! (not that it's tough) The BBQ will probably be one of the main subjects on the table for this meet-and-greet AFAIK DivingGal April 8th, 2003, 02:42 PM Butch103 once bubbled... ..is this the meeting to set up the meeting to discuss a BBQ/dive day? ... Or is this the meeting to decide the dive day/BBQ? ... or is this just a get together so see if we really want to dive with each other? Primarly the last -- a meet and greet BUT.... planning a BBQ/Dive can be a focus, so as Butch said "bring a preferred date " so we can try to mark our calenders. For those unable to make it, may I suggest you send your suggestions to someone who is going? GTADiver April 8th, 2003, 09:56 PM cobaltbabe once bubbled... See boys, if the women of the board can make it a firm committment then you can too. Just say it with me. ;) Committment phobia......that could be a thread for the woman's only section. LOL cobaltbabe April 9th, 2003, 12:19 PM GTADiver once bubbled... Committment phobia......that could be a thread for the woman's only section. LOL That almost deserves a big B**** slap but being the strong secure woman that I am I will let it pass and wait till there is a better opportunity to get you. :wacko: Butch103 April 9th, 2003, 12:41 PM cobaltbabe once bubbled... That almost deserves a big B**** slap but being the strong secure woman that I am I will let it pass and wait till there is a better opportunity to get you. :wacko: No food fights allowed Sat night.....!!!!!!...We might want to go back again :) cobaltbabe April 9th, 2003, 12:52 PM Butch103 once bubbled... No food fights allowed Sat night.....!!!!!!...We might want to go back again :) Don't worry I am too much of a lady to let it go that far. Just a good swat when no one is looking will work. But then he may like it so I won't do that either. ;) GTADiver April 9th, 2003, 01:27 PM cobaltbabe once bubbled... Just a good swat when no one is looking will work. But then he may like it ;) Ahhh affection!!!!:) ;) cobaltbabe April 9th, 2003, 01:52 PM No way, no how. I can get myself into so much trouble but choose not to. See you at the dinner. :) Doppler April 9th, 2003, 03:30 PM cobaltbabe once bubbled... Don't worry I am too much of a lady to let it go that far. Just a good swat when no one is looking will work. But then he may like it so I won't do that either. ;) No slapping people around, no flying food, no fancy dress... This is going to be boring.... =-) canuckdiver April 9th, 2003, 03:46 PM LOL, trust me doppler, with this bunch, it will be ANYTHING BUT boring! cobaltbabe April 9th, 2003, 04:15 PM We have to wear cloths? I thought this was a get to know you dinner. ROFL. Doppler April 9th, 2003, 04:25 PM canuckdiver once bubbled... LOL, trust me doppler, with this bunch, it will be ANYTHING BUT boring! Well, at least you and I will have wet hair... actually, I don't have much hair left... I will have a wet head... biggest regret is I only have one photo of me with a mohawk and now, I no longer have the hair! DD Ontario Diver April 9th, 2003, 04:36 PM cobaltbabe once bubbled... We have to wear cloths? I thought this was a get to know you dinner. ROFL. We took a vote, you don't have too but everyone will be much happier if I keep mine on! :wacko: canuckdiver April 9th, 2003, 04:50 PM LOL doppler, with my head buzzed down as close as it is, not much hair on me either ;) We can get some of that fake fur from fabricland and give you a new mohawk though! and OD, trust me, same boat here, would probably kill pretty much ALL the appatites in my case! cobaltbabe April 9th, 2003, 05:19 PM Ontario Diver once bubbled... We took a vote, you don't have too but everyone will be much happier if I keep mine on! :wacko: Well I will have all my cloths on if no one else is going to play. :) taz22 April 10th, 2003, 04:44 PM Sorry folks but I won't be able to make the dinner. Alas, I have drawn a short stick and must work this weekend. :( canuckdiver April 10th, 2003, 04:58 PM that sux bud. you'll be missed cobaltbabe April 10th, 2003, 07:11 PM Sorry you can't make it Taz. There will be another chance for us all to get together during the summer. Don't work too hard!!!! DivingGal April 11th, 2003, 05:35 PM Ok the plan is. . . Canuckdiver, Colbatbabe plan to get there early to grab a table for the gang (as the restaurant won't take reservations on a Saturday) Cudos to you guys!!!! Anyone who is going will be meeting for 18:30 at: Montana's Cookhouse Saloon 630 Gardiners Rd Kingston, Ont FYI - Take the exit for Highway 38 (Shabot Lake) go east This will magically turn into Gardiners Rd right at Princess Street. At Princess Street there is a Canadian Tire at the corner. Continue on Gardiners Road for two traffic lights. The restaurant is located on the left side at the lights. It's located along side Kelseys and Home Depot. From the previous posts - it looks like who's coming: Butch & Sue Cobaltbabe CanuckDiver + a couple more Diving Gal with Ontario diver and Jrtonkin as possibles? Divedude & his lovely wife are not able to make it. If you're coming please post a note, so our table grabbers can get a spot with sufficient seating. ;) Doppler April 11th, 2003, 07:16 PM I expect to be there, gods willing and if I manage to cheat death earlier in the day:confused: DivingGal April 11th, 2003, 07:21 PM Doppler once bubbled... I expect to be there, gods willing and if I manage to cheat death earlier in the day I have heard a certain diver has threaten to tow you out into the shipping lanes..... (not that I'm telling any tales) :D Glad to hear you'll be joining the gang. Ontario Diver April 11th, 2003, 09:56 PM we be there! Butch103 April 12th, 2003, 09:31 AM ...well not exactly right now, but soon, in a couple of hours or so......later today.....early afternoon...........;) DivingGal April 12th, 2003, 11:21 PM Yes, it can be said that a bunch of Canucks can get together and have a few laughs. Those that said they were coming, actually showed up! (even if Cobaltbabe did take a wrong turn, she did make it) So a fun time (IMHO) was had by: Butch & Sue Cobaltbabe CanuckDiver Diving Gal Ontario diver Jrtonkin Doppler and then a couple of the guys from NTD showed up (they were very impressed that we were all there, and rubbed it in that we weren't there the last time some of the folks tried this) and we have proof -- pictures will be posted at: My photos (http://photos.yahoo.com/cdndivinggal) and if you go to the "temp" album mddolson April 13th, 2003, 10:10 AM Hey guy's sorry I couldn't make it. It looks like you had a blast. I'd love the try on the moose antlers. (LOL) This was my baby sistting week end. My wife and daughter were off the Oshawa (wedding shower gift shopping) and I had to baby sit our 3 dogs yesterday. Hey did you know they still give free puppy cones for your dogs at Dairy Queen and dried pig's ears are $1 each? (that's another story) Mike D Butch103 April 13th, 2003, 11:17 AM to put these photos up???????/.........hmmmmmmmm.........Remember swimming with a drysuit full of water I hear is a B****......... Butch103 April 13th, 2003, 11:25 AM a good time was had by all.......DG forgot Tom R (NTD) .......Lots of laughs..CobaltBabe kept her clothes on (at least until I left) and didn't start a foodfight........Heard some great stories from Doppler and the NTD boys. I really enjoy chatting (actually just listening) with long time divers. Congrats to Canuckdiver...got his Nitrox cert, in spite of the freeflowing experience :D . The folks at Montanas' including the other patrons gave our table a few curious looks???........ Those who missed the event should look forward to the next event...... This all said ummm errrrrr folks we never did discuss a date for the OFWF BBQ/Dive day...... Dammit, we have to start this all over again......:eek: DivingGal April 13th, 2003, 01:44 PM Butch103 once bubbled... a good time was had by all.......DG forgot Tom R (NTD) .......Lots of laughs.. .... The folks at Montanas' including the other patrons gave our table a few curious looks???........Those who missed the event should look forward to the next event...... Truely I didn't forget the NDT guys.. hehehe I just couldn't remember their names (do remember where I was sitting, I do have a reason for forgetting :tease: As I said, a good time was had by all... and Colbatbabe -- came up with an excellent suggestion for the next meet... but I'll let her start a new thread on that (since it was here suggestion). :wacko: I will say that the NDI guys mentioned an up-and-coming event that sounds outstanding... so ALL of you who weren't there will just have to wait until they post the info! (nothing like a teaser...) It was great meeting new friends, and even better seeing old friends and catching up on news! For those meeting next weekend, here's praying that Canuckdiver and his pals remember to plug in the heater for the dive for us! FreeFloat April 13th, 2003, 03:56 PM Someone PM me next time you all are going to be in Kingston - I had no idea. I tell you this forum is BIG and I was browsing other places for the last few nights........ Can't guarantee I'd be able to make it as I'm trying to convince my Sig Othr that no, I'm not "getting involved in" yet another activity. DivingGal April 13th, 2003, 04:10 PM FreeFloat once bubbled... Someone PM me next time you all are going to be in Kingston - I had no idea. I tell you this forum is BIG and I was browsing other places for the last few nights........ Can't guarantee I'd be able to make it as I'm trying to convince my Sig Othr that no, I'm not "getting involved in" yet another activity. don't know about the others... but I'll try to remind you. FYI --- looks like a number of OFWF are going to do a shore dive on Friday. As I'm only an "invite" check with Canuckdiver - as an organizer of the dive! Anyone for a second dive ? FreeFloat April 13th, 2003, 04:31 PM I'm really tempted by the clear blue water but THERE IS STILL ICE IN IT and I only have a 3mil wetsuit.......... Think I'll stick to sailing for now, thanks........... cobaltbabe April 13th, 2003, 07:16 PM Just wanted to put my two cents in (and I will try not to put my foot in my mouth). The amount of knowledge sitting at that table was incredible. I want to thank you "real divers" ;) for allowing me (a want to be) to remain at the table and bast in your knowledge and experience. I had a really good time. And yes I am the queen of getting lost but I did make it and only a couple of minutes late. I look forward to getting together with all of you again and if my suggestion of a BBQ in someones backyard appeals to anyone other then the 10 who showed up, PM me and I will make it happen. Sometimes it's just nice to get together minus the equipment and shoot the sh**. Again, thank you for including me. :D Tom R April 13th, 2003, 07:42 PM All the talk about diving last night and yesterday, we just had to go diving in rockport today, over 40 Divers there today. I have the video to prove it also. Stay tuned for what's next. Tom DivingGal April 13th, 2003, 08:16 PM cobaltbabe once bubbled...

Your humour and the fact that I really think you can haul those tanks like you said you can make you welcome to any table I'm sitting at. A BBQ is great --- though your neighbourhood is a might closer to any water. I'll PM, and we'll talk. Butch103 April 14th, 2003, 11:46 AM but I do have the space a for BBQ.......And if the need arises to get wet.....I do have water in my backyard.............Ands even more just around the corner......:D All depends on my DM training schedule........ And Tom R......dammit man do you work?...... ;) ......LOL........I would love to be able to dive just a little bit more.......... ;) Tom R April 14th, 2003, 12:15 PM Butch103 once bubbled...

I ended up in Quebec that weekend helping a old friend. Hope I can get to the next one.
